The information on this website is for general guidance only. Please read this page so you know what you can and cannot rely on us for.
Not legal or professional advice
We explain how self-certification and Statutory Sick Pay work in the UK, but nothing here is legal, medical or financial advice. Your own situation, contract and employer policy may be different. If you are unsure, speak to your employer, your union, ACAS or Citizens Advice.
Independent site
We are not connected to GOV.UK, HMRC, the NHS or any government department. The names and forms we mention, such as SC1 and SC2, belong to their owners and are used only to help you understand them. Where we offer a blank form or letter template, it is a convenience, and your employer may ask you to use their own form.
Accuracy
We work from official sources and review our pages, but rules and rates change. We cannot promise every page is complete or up to date at the moment you read it. Please check the latest position on GOV.UK before you act.
Using the letter tool
The letter you create is a draft built from what you type. You are responsible for checking that the details are true and complete before you give it to your employer. We are not responsible for how an employer or anyone else uses or responds to it.
External links
We link to other websites that we think are useful. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content.
Limit of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for any loss or problem that results from using this website or relying on its content. Nothing here limits any right you have that cannot be limited by law.
